| Introduction | I have had a fascination with photography for as long as I can remember. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic. In 1987, I purchased my first Nikon SLR, an FE2. I currently use a Nikon D80 digital SLR, a Nikon F100 SLR, and a Polaroid One600 instant camera. After a long hiatus, I am back in the photographic mindset. I'm currently considering M.F.A. (Photography) programs in the Chicago area. My interests lie primarily in portraiture, especially against the backdrop of open landscapes. I am seeking to push my photographic/artistic boundaries, individually and in collaboration with others. |
